Population Pharmacokinetic Analysis of Follicle-Stimulating Hormone During Ovarian Stimulation: Relation with Weight, Prolactin and Gene Polymorphism in THADA and ADIPOQ.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPersonalisation strategies of ovarian stimulation for in vitro fertilisation (IVF)/ intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatments using exogenous follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) have been extensively studied over the past 20 years. This research aimed to develop a FSH population pharmacokinetic (PPK) model taking into account the contribution of gene polymorphisms in Chinese reproductive-age women.
methodsData from 173 patients undergoing GnRH agonist down-regulation long protocols of IVF/ICSI treatment were collected. PPK analysis was subsequently conducted using the nonlinear mixed-effect model (NONMEM) software. Several covariates, including 18 single nucleotide polymorphisms, demographic factors and biological characteristics, were evaluated. The final PPK model was extensively validated using bootstrapping and normalised prediction error distribution, as well as external validation on an independent group of 35 patients.
resultsFSH PPK was accurately described by a one-compartment model with first-order absorption. The typical population value of apparent clearance was estimated to be 0.81 L/h [relative standard errors (RSE) 5.3%] with an inter-individual variability (IIV) of 16.0%. The typical apparent distribution volume was 8.36 L (RSE 9.7%, 59.7% IIV), and the absorption rate constant was estimated to be 0.0444 h
conclusionPPK models of FSH have been developed, which could potentially be used for FSH dosage individualisation in the clinical setting. CLINICAL
